Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I'm mostly sympathetic to your rant. I also agree with the poster/s that brought up scripture to point out the questionable theology of the Amish. (render unto Caesar etc...) I have to say however, the constitution is right there in black and white. I don't care how many activist lawyers and judges try to interpret what it says. You want to force Amish to put triangles or lights on their buggies, amend the constitution.

Less you forget, one of the most important Amendments to the Constitution was the 10th (states' rights). This is a state law issue and not federal nor religious. I have and will always be a States' Rights supporter.

As I mentioned above, their rights stop where it infringes on others' rights, especially when it comes to the right to life.
